#170: Mental Health In Aviation: In Conversation With Captain Chris
As part of mental health awareness week (May 15 - 21), we sit down with Instagram sensation and Simple Flying regular, Captain Chris, to discuss mental health in aviation. As a training captain, Chris works closely with hundreds of other pilots, giving him a unique vantage point into the industry. We'll discuss the current situation in the cockpit, the support airlines are giving stressed-out pilots, and how the pandemic has affected mental health. We also talk about the 'lie to fly' mentality, and whether there is misinformation being spread, making pilots afraid to seek help.
